The condition of affairs in Manitoba
grows more and more interesting as it
grows more and more exciting, The
Sharp-witted Manitobans are equal for
any emergency that arises. The Can
adian Pacific management, with the aid
of all its sharp attorneys, and with the
whole power of the Dominion govern
ment at its back. cannot prevent the de-
termined ManitobanS from building
their road. 1t was a scurvy trick the
Canadian Pacific attempted to play on
them in that injunction matter, but
even there the railway and government
magnates found themselves Outwitted
by the keen-sighted Manitoba officials,
who anticipated the trick and thwarted
it. Old JOHN NoRQUAY hasn't such a
big head Oh him for nothing.
The success attending the ManitObans
is an Illustration of what a determined
people can do when they make up their
minds to protect themselves from OD-
preston. The claim set-up by the Do
miniOn authorities that the monopoly
enjoyed by the Canadian Pacific is a
part of the contract under which the
road was built, and that, therefore, it is
the duty of the government to enforce
its provisions, is too far-fetched to be of
avail in this particular instance. Con-
tracts which entail oppression can have
no sanctity. There can be nothing sa-
cred about an obligation which results
disastrOusly to private and public inter
estS Such contracts are vicious in their
nature and contrary to public policy.
They should be abrOgated by govern
mentS, not enforced. Consequently
there is no ground, either moral or legal,
upon which the Dominion government
can vindicate its effort to choke the Ca
madam Pacific monopoly down the
throatS of the ManitobanS. Just at a
time when we are having big wreStle
with monopoly III this land of supposed
freedom, it is exceedingly encouraging
to see our neighbOrS over the line, who
live under the shadow of a monarchy,
doing exactly the same thing that we
are trying to accomplish, and doing it
with so much vigOr, too. We can clasp
hands with our Manitoba neighbOrS on

FOR THE DOMINION.
A Correspondents Discussion of
Its Constitution.

Its Constitution.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Iobserve to-day in your issue an ed
itOrial reply to correspondent III re-
gard to 'ManitOba's status" supple
mented with an explanation of ''the Do
miniOn constitution" You state the
Canadian constitution is modelled upon
that of this country" Please allow me
to state to your readers that it Is mod
eled on no such thing. We all had local
parliaments before confederation. 1t is
modelled after the British constitution,
on basis of responsible government;
that is, a government directly RESPONSE
BILE to the people. In England and Can
ada the people rule in a much more DEM
democratic sense than in this country.
Think of free, democratic country like
this being subjected to an irresponsible
cabinet; undoubtedly very worthy gen
tlemen, yet representing no one actually
beyond the president in their appoint
ment. When Mr.. COnkling, that very clear
statesman, attempted to throttle the late
preSident-he was improperly attempt
ing to develop the freedom of the do
miniOn constitution. Acting under the
restraints of the American system, he
was wrong Had he attempted it in
Canada the governor general would
have been obliged to surrender. In the
commons of Canada we get all our best
men to the front. Even our judges and
senators resign their robes of office for
the honor of the c0mmOns-that is, the
peoples house. What are your peoples
house at Washington? Looked upon
and really are secOnd-claSS article.
Strife comes between the president and
the senate. Please allow me to state
that the province of Manitoba" in at
tempting to build the present Valley
railroad to the border is repudiating a
contract signed by her own dominion
representatives at the time the charter
was granted the Canadian Pacific rail
road, and consequently the dominion
government was obliged to
disallOw ManitOba's local house.
The Canadian Pacific railroad is now
not indebted one dollar to the Dominion
government. | sometimes find it diff
cult to get fair statement of Canada S
status before the American readers.
We all in Canada love the American
people, but what is true individually is
also true in a national sense. There is
no friendship in trade" The Dominion
of Canada, which | can most explicitly
prove, has never been III a more salts
factory financial position than now.
She has more to show in assets for her
debt than either England or the United
StateS-has good surplus and will not
ask for a loan for many years, from
present appearances. Canada has
copied your protection system and finds
it pays. A wide open commercial treaty
with the United States, to the deStruc-
ton of her manufactures, however, will
be supported by only small section OF
''kickerS.' A CANADIAN.

Very soon great crowds of people will

THE SUPPLY OF PRINCES.

A curious and woful state of things
exists on the other side Of the great
pond where the effete mOnarchieS have
their existence. The complaint is made
that, although there are at present many
maids of royal and princely parentage
ready and eager for the matrimonial
yoke, the supply of eligible. young
princes is not equal to the demand, and
consequently most of the princeSseS
must look forward to the dreary pros
pect of spending their lives i'll single
bleSSedness, no less lamentable because
spent in palaces. 1t is indeed sorry
plight i'll which the princesseS, comely
and hOmely alike, find themselves, but
it is one which appears to us to be not
without hope.
Old maidhOOd is indeed, to the aver
age maiden, frightful ogre. and we
deeply sympathize with the young
women over the prospect of its clutch
ing them through the failure of the
prince supply, for though restricted at
home in their choice, the princeSSeS
would probably find even tuppeny
prince better than no husband at all.
But we bid them take heart of grace
and dry their pretty eyes of the tears
suffusing them. There is a way out of
the difficulty. America, the broad land
of freedom which has relieved the
troubles of so many of their cOmpatriOtS,
stands ready to offer them also its aid,
and to solve the matrimonial problem
for them.
Let them club together, employ
chaperone and a courier-we would sug
geSt Col. p. DOMAIN, the versatile and
accomplished professional beau for the
latter pOSitiOn-and make a descent
upon our shores. With proper effort
they could make the acquaintance of
the cOuntry'S best young men in short
order, and the rest would remain with
themselves. If with Partisan dresses
and foreign arts each one could not soon
claim the exclusive attention of some
eligible American, the fact would be
self-eyident that the delinquent was not
deserving of husband.
1t would be fair exchange, too. since
it has been the custom for some time for
European youth to take unto themselves
American brides. Moreover. who will
say that an American sovereign is not
more fitting partner than apetty prince
ling who lives upon the fruit of other
peoples labor. And besides, as noted
|. humorist says, 1.-The king business is
playing OUT and it would be extremely
advantageous for the matrimonially in
clined prineesses to choose parters able
to support them i'll comfort rather than
those whose only resource, should mon
archiSm no longer prevail, might be the
hand organ.
BY all means we recommend the
American sovereign to the foreign prin-
cess, and we assure her she would have
no cause to complain either of the quail
ity or quantity of the supply.

REDFIELD, Dak., Aug. 20.-Sheriff

To Come to MINNEAPOLIS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-District Assem-

to elect delegates to the general assem-
bly, at Minneapolis. The meeting began
at O'Clock and ended at Z, but the
counting of the 700 votes cast was still
in progress. Two hours after midnight
a determined battle was waged between
the home club and the anti-home club.
Twelve delegates were to be elected
and at the hour of writing it is probable
that the anti-hOme club faction will
have a plurality.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 21.-There has
been an absence of information from
Meeker to-day, although some news
was expected from Kendall's party, who
were to leave Meeker yesterday morn

that if one does occur, the whites must
force the fighting. If Kendall accom-
plished anything on Saturday, his cour-

Reform at Fort Pembina.

Special to the Globe.
ST. VINCENT, Aug. 21.-Col. Crofton,
of the Fifteenth infantry, visited Fort
Pembina this week, and was heartily
welcomed by the men stationed there.
1t is understood that the great number
of desertiOns and the great number of
non-commissiOned officers who have
been reduced to the ranks-for which
Fort Pembina is famOuS-waS the cause
of his being ordered there. In his drill
he ascertained that the men were more
efficient in their drill than some of the
officers in theirs. Capt. McKibbOn's re-
turn to the post has inaugurated an era
of less work disagreeable to soldiers and
more drill, the good effect of which will
be noticed in less desertiOnS.

Senator DANIEL, of Virginia, who was in
vited to be the guest of the Magnolia club
during the time of President CLEyELASD's
visit to this city, has written letter i'll which
he says that nothing would give him more
pleasure than 10 visit the wonderland of
progress of which st. Paul and Minneapolis
are the capitals, but is obliged to decline the
rendered hospitality on account of previous
and pressing engagements.
-
Senator DANIEL is actively engaged in the
practice Of law, and peing one of the fore
most lawyers of his state. his legal services
are in great demand. He will be engaged in
professional duties up TO the middle of Octo-
Der, and from that time on until the Noyem-
Der election he will be kept busy wiping the
South with MAHoNE and his cohorts.
~
The Republican party in Virginia is in a
tangled condition just now. 1t is trying to
find out whether MAHoNE is a part of the Re-
publican party or whether the party is only
a part of MALONE. Its pToblematical condi-
ton recalls the story of the old darkey's fish
ing adventure. An old negro was out fishing
on Chesapeake bay and went to sleep in his
boat In order to secure his game in case he
got bite while mapping he tied the end of
the line 10 MS IOOt. i NAT WIS the laSI seen
of him until a week or two afterwards, when
the line washed ashore, with a monster sal
mon fastened to one end of it and a dead
darkey to the other And it is a matter of
dispute down in that country to this day
whether the niger went fishing or the fish
went a lingering.
The same thing has happened to the Vir-
ginia Republicans. 1t was the unluckiest
fishing they ever did when they baited for
MALONE They have him on the string, but
for the life of them they can't tell whether
they have caught MALONE or whether he has
caught them. Present appearances indicate
that, like the old darkey and his salmon, they
will all go to the bottom together
Senator WILSON, of Iowa, thinks that he is
as big a man as ALLISON, and if there is to be
any favorite son business done by the Iowa
Republicans he wants his name to go on the
list WILSON is an old school Republican,
who doesn't know that the war is over. He
believes in high tariff, prohibition and sub
jugation of the Southern states.

All the states except Minnesota are rushing
their favorite sons to the front. Minnesota's
experience with WINDOW in 1880 had such
discoWaging effect that the fayorite son
business in these parts is in bankruptcy.

to occur anywhere. There must be
something wrong in the moral atm0s-
phere where such an event is possible.
The practice in some places of clergy
men calling on the women members of
their church during the absence of the
husband, and of other persons, gives
opportunity for just such vileness and
criminality, and the custom should be
abolished everywhere.

We do not see why some of our es-

Why McGill should think so is past
